The band consists of vocalist Densil McFarlane, guitarist Joe Brosnan and drummer Colanthony Humphrey. Keyboardist Jemuel Roberts was also a member of the band in the mid-2010s, but is no longer with the band.
The band was formed in 2007, initially as a hip-hop production duo consisting of McFarlane and Humphrey. Their music became more punk-oriented after they were arrested in a racial profiling incident, which interfered with McFarlane's plans to attend university in the United States. They released their debut EP, Interchorus, in 2009.
WTFRU
The OBGMs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You’re more meaningless than you’ve ever been.
So much time spent running from this
So little days that are left to be.
Give me some, give me all of it.
All of the lies that you have buried
I think I struggle with my confidence
But you still mean nothing to me.
Who the fuck are you?
What you gonna do?
When we kick in your front door.
My mind is still a mess
I’m feeling overlooked
They plotting on my death
So bring it on.
Another prayer, another letdown
Aim so low, there’s no need to care
Life’s so slow, I’m looking to the clouds
Wondering if somebody’s there
I hate myself, but I think I hate you more
And I’m plotting to settle the score
All my days waiting for I don’t know
In my mirror I’m losing control
Hello
Who the fuck are you?
What you gonna do?
When we kick in your front door.
My mind is still a mess
I’m feeling overlooked
They plotting on my death
So bring it on.
Two-twos, my life followed by two-twos
Don’t know what I would do
All I know is I won’t lose
Put me in a place where I have to choose
I like me more than you
Don’t make any sudden moves
Don’t know what I will do
Push me to, push me to
Spray up the place
I’m like duh duh duh duh duh duh
I hate you more than myself and I’m fittin’a
Do all the things that you know that you couldn’t of
So let’s just leave it at that
